Replacement Mirrors

I have a 2013 F150 XL. It came with the plain black mirrors with power adjustable glass. I clipped mirrors on the highway today and am looking at switching to tow mirrors. My question is whether or not my truck is wired from the factory to run puddle lights, turn signals, heated glass, etc., or whether I should get unlighted tow mirrors.

Additionally, does anyone have any experience with aftermarket mirrors from Fit System? Are they good quality or should I stick with OEM?

Would also be interested in whether non heater/lighted mirror trucks have the wiring in place to drop in heated/lighted mirrors.

I am sure ford only has one harness they buy and its all in there. I know someone add tow with heat and they did not have heat but it worked with the back window defrost so its worth a try

I swapped out stock mirrors for tow mirrors and the puddle lamps work.

Put the new mirrors on today. The puddle lights and blinkers work. I don't think the heat will work on my truck because I have no window defrost button.
